A soft, unlit evening. A moon hiding behind the trees. A splash of crimson running across his face. A fire burning deep within his eyes ... and yet, an eerie smile often plastered on his angled face.
Handsome and chiseled, with an exaggerated mane and slightly elongated tail. The evidence of war is burned on his skin. Scars run up the entirety of his right front forelimb, as well as a single mark across the bridge of his muzzle.

Wonderfully loyal to those who have earned and kept his trust, especially his family and his lover. There is a softness within him that is reserved for these secret moments. He can be quite humorous and charming when he'd like, but he is shamelessly flirtatious towards beautiful women. Notoriously polyamorous, but holds a soft spot for Aphrodite - who is the most beautiful in his mind.
He is aware of his actions, whether they be good or bad. And he is aware of the consequences that result in what he does. As a result, he can coerce and influence others, as his passion knows no bounds. He often tries to bring out the worst, or best, in others around him ... pending his mood, of course.
However, the man is not without flaws; and his personality is as flawed as his skin. He has a strong interest in drama. Interesting developments often cause him to ... smile in a strange, crooked sort of way. A hunger evolves in his eyes. The man is capable of the deepest love, but also the greatest destruction. There is no fear of violence; in fact, violence is embraced in all of its forms. Sadism runs deep in his veins, despite his subtle attempts at emotional connection with his lover and children.
Violence is beauty and hilarity, much like the women he pursues. The world is considered better with drama. And either way the coin lands, Ares is often seen smiling.
